Abstract: A unit for use in evaporative cooling includes a first capped frame and a second open frame opposite the first frame. Posts are located between and coupled to the first and second frames. A porous hollow fiber membrane extends around the posts between and coupled to the first and second frames to form an interior volume. The first and second frames are configured for flow of water between them via the membrane. The membrane is configured to transport the water between the first and second frames and to provide for air flow from the interior volume through the membrane for evaporative cooling. The cooling unit can have a rounded square or diamond-shaped cross-sectional shape.

Abstract: A connector assembly for electrically connecting a plurality of wires to a circuit board is described. The connector assembly includes a vertical connector that includes an insulative base having pluralities of substantially parallel first and second base channels formed on respective opposing first and second major surfaces of the base. The vertical connector further includes pluralities of first and second terminals in registration with the respective first and second base channels, each first and second terminal including a contact portion for making contact with a wire, and a press-fit portion for being inserted into a conductive via of a circuit board. At least a majority length of each first and second terminal is disposed outside the housing. Each first and second terminal is secured in the connector at least in part by virtue of making physical contact with a corresponding wire.
